Scrap car services in Merton
Everything we can do for you and an old car in Merton.
Scrap your car
We have an extensive network of approved scrap yards around the country just waiting for a car like yours. Using national averages, we’ll get you the very best price for your car based on the weight for your car, taking into consideration any local trends.
Sell a car as salvage
Some cars are simply too good to go straight to the scrapyard, and we're still perfectly placed to help you out if that's the case. We'll find a specialist buyer prepared to break down your car into any reusable parts for spares. Quite often, cars sold in this manner get larger quotes due to the added value in the spare parts.
Sell a damaged vehicle
A damaged car sitting on your driveway is never an easy thing to sell, unless you use our service that is! Don't waste time with a private sale, and the risk of literal time wasters. One call to us is all it takes and we'll have your car on the back of a truck and money in your account before you know it.
Sell a van or commercial vehicle
We don't just scrap cars, and no matter how big or obscure your vehicle is our service stays the same. Instant quotes and guaranteed offers are provided for vans, buses, trucks - anything! Just get in touch to see what we can do for you.

What are the scrap car prices in Merton?
Every scrap car price that we generate is based on the current going rate for scrap metal and the weight of your car – after all you’re effectively selling a large lump of scrap metal. After we’ve got some more details from you, we’ll then check the local area to see if there are any better offers out there, or if you could possibly sell it as salvage.
What happens to scrap cars?
All scrap cars, by law, must be recycled. When they are sent to the Authorised Treatment Facility (ATF), they will be broken down and returned to their raw materials. These materials will then be reused again in the manufacturing process for new cars. Yes, by scrapping your old car, you’re helping new ones get on the road.
What's the difference between scrap and salvage?
Salvage vehicles will be broken down into parts first rather than just sent straight for scrap. These parts will then be used to help repair other broken down vehicles. In some cases, the salvage vehicle may be repaired itself. As a result, the value of a salvage car is often higher than you’d get for a standard scrap vehicle.
Can any car be scrapped?
Absolutely! From sought after supercars to the most boring of family hatchbacks and city cars, we can get great prices for anything. Think your car is too rare to scrap? Give our team a call and they’ll happily guide you through the process.
How do I get the best price for my car?
To get the best price, use a service like ours that provides both scrap and salvage quotes. Many older or written-off cars aren't destined for the scrap heap; some are salvaged for parts or even fully restored. Ensure you describe the car's condition accurately, as salvage buyers often pay more. Also, check for collection fees, as our quotes always include free collection.
Are your prices really guaranteed?
Yes. Once you accept a quote we lock the price in, so as long as the car matches the description you gave us, that's the price you'll be paid. Salvage quotes depend on the car's condition, not just its weight. Accurately describing the vehicle ensures the highest price and prevents later adjustments. Misrepresentation can occasionally result in lower offers, however our team will let you know and share why.
